Important Health Warning About Playing Video GamesPhotosensitive SeizuresA very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

PLAYING THE GAMEThe world’s favorite board game is now available with an entirely new way to play! In addition to wheeling and dealing with the classic real estate tycoon battle, you can now play a super-fast version of MONOPOLY in the new Richest Edition mode. Choose one of three different settings to compete in a variety of fun minigames, acquiring properties on the board along the way, to see who can get rich the quickest. With each game you play, you’ll get stamps in your passport. Fill your passport to unlock and play cool new boards. Get ready for a whirlwind of buying, selling, and squeezing every last cent out of your opponents!To start, choose the flag that corresponds to the country whose language you’d like to use.

Your ProfileTwo of the nine themed boards are available from the start of the game, and each time you add a property to your portfolio, your passport gets a stamp. Once you’ve earned enough stamps, you earn a brand-new board to play on. Soon you’ll be visiting the next century on the future board, or dining out on the cheese board! As you advance, you will need to acquire more and more stamps in order to earn the later boards. So, make sure you remember to review your passport in the Choose Board screen to check on your progress and see those properties you’ve yet to earn stamps for!

MAIN MENUPress > to access the main menu.MONOPOLY Play the classic board game.EDITION RICHEST EDITION This new mode delivers big on fun in a fast, high

stakes battle to become the richest! MINIGAMES Practice all the minigames you’ve unlocked in the

Richest Edition. OPTIONS Turn subtitles on or off.

MONOPOLY EDITIONPlay MONOPOLY just like you remember it! The rules for this mode are the same as the classic board game, or customize your play with the different house rules available. On your turn, roll the dice by pressing A. Your token moves clockwise the number of spaces corresponding to your dice roll. If you roll doubles, you get to go again, but if you roll three doubles in a row, you’ll be sent to jail! Players start with a small fortune to pay their way around the board. As you move, you pass GO and collect your salary, buy properties, charge rent, or trade with competitors to amass monopolies. If you have a monopoly, you can build houses or hotels in order to charge the highest rent possible and drive your opponents out of business. If you’re the last player with money after all the others have gone bankrupt, you win!NOTE: The M in Monopoly Edition represents millions, while the K represents thousands.

CHOOSE BOARD Any themed boards you’ve unlocked with your Passport are available to use. Press A on PASSPORT to see how many stamps you need to reach your next renewal.

CHOOSE HOW MANY You can play “hotseat” style with just one CONTROLLERS YOU controller, or each player can play with their ownWANT TO USE controller, up to a maximum of four.PLAYER SETUP Choose to enter your player name and select your

token. Then set opponents to either CPUs of various difficulty or humans.

House RulesShould tax money go into the Free Parking pot? Do players have to evenly distribute houses among the properties in a monopoly before building hotels? Play how you like by tweaking the list of HOUSE RULES, accessible via the Who’s Playing? summary screen. Simply highlight your choice and press 1 or 5 (or move L 1 or 5) for options that sound good. Select OK to confirm.NOTE: House Rules reset with each new game, but are retained if you save a game mid-way through.

WHEN YOU LAND ON…Most of the spaces around the board are properties you can buy or sell in your quest for real estate domination, but some have other effects. The list below explains the possible outcomes depending on where your playing piece stops. Note that this list does not include spaces where nothing happens. Free Parking, for example, only has an effect if you add a specific House Rule.

UNOWNED You can choose to buy the property or put it up PROPERTY for auction. When someone else passes on a

purchase, you can bid in the auction by pressing A. The more property you own, the more rent you can collect!

OWNED PROPERTY You owe rent, which can be very expensive if the property is part of a monopoly improved with houses or a hotel.

YOUR OWN You do not have to take any action, however,PROPERTY at the end of your turn, you may go to your

Accounts screen and purchase houses or hotels for monopolies. Improving your lot with buildings increases the rent other players have to pay when they land there.

NOTE: You need four houses per property in a monopoly before you can buy a hotel. The rent on transport properties (e.g., train stations) goes up as you gain control over more of them. Utility charges are multiples of die rolls with extra rent if you own both of them.


6 7

FREE PARKING It’s free! Nothing to buy, nothing to pay—it’s just a free place to park. And if you’re playing with house rules, you may even get a windfall payout from the bank!

GO TO JAIL Go directly to jail, and do not pass GO! Spend three turns languishing behind bars unless you roll doubles, use a Get Out of Jail Free card, or pay the bail.

GO Pass or land on this space to earn your salary.TAXES Sorry but everyone has to pay taxes at some point.

Give the corresponding amount to the bank.COMMUNITY Draw a Community Chest card, and anything canCHEST happen. These cards can really shake up the game.CHANCE Draw a Chance card. You might get lucky and pull

out a Get Out of Jail Free card.

ACCOUNTSAt the end of your turn you can choose to view your current Accounts. This screen shows the board with the properties you own highlighted. If you want to mortgage or build on your properties, select them and press A to see your options. To enter trading mode, select the TRADE option and press A.

TRADINGIf you notice another player owns a property you’d like to have for yourself, see if you can make it worth their while to do business with you.Select any properties you wish to include in the trade by moving L to highlight the property squares on the board and pressing A. A checkmark means the property will be included in the trade.If you wish to include money, select the ADD CASH or REQUEST CASH options next to the player icons and press A. You can now adjust the amount that is included in the deal.You can also include Get Out of Jail Free cards. Simply select the card near your name and press A to include it in the deal.To close the deal, select the PROPOSE option and press A.If you want to cancel the trade, select the CANCEL option and press A.

RICHEST EDITIONDon’t have time for a full game of MONOPOLY? Richest Edition takes the cash out of the equation and features streamlined, minigame-oriented play that you can finish in just 30 minutes.Choose a mode based on how much time you want to spend:DEVELOPER The quickest fix. Just six rounds, no trading. Who

can become the richest player in just 30 minutes of play? This one is all about the property—who can amass and hold onto the biggest property empire?

INDUSTRIALIST This version of Richest Edition is slightly longer, with nine rounds of play, lasting about 45 minutes. Community Chest cards could really affect the state of play, and special spaces, such as Free Parking and Go to Jail help keep you out of (or in) trouble!

TYCOON You’ll need about an hour to play this longest Richest Edition game at twelve rounds. All Community Chest events and special spaces are fully active, and every three rounds, a trading session occurs.

NOTE: Each player must have their own controller to play Richest Edition.

HOW TO PLAYForget what you know about playing classic MONOPOLY—Richest Edition is something completely different! The aim of the game is to acquire the most assets at the end of the allocated number of rounds. Each round starts off with four dice being automatically rolled. All players then take part in a minigame, and the winner of the minigame is granted first choice of the four pre-rolled dice. Once you’ve selected your pre-rolled die, you don’t move one token around the board like you might expect. Instead, the number you’ve picked determines the amount of tokens you get placed randomly around the board for that turn. The spaces you ended up landing on are displayed like a hand of cards and disappear when the tokens are placed. Once each player has chosen a die and received their tokens, the rest of the action starts.Mr. Monopoly runs clockwise around the board, starting at GO. Every time he reaches a player’s token, he lets you know what happens next. The various results of landing on each space are explained below.


8 9

No money at all is used in Richest Edition, as you acquire properties simply by landing on them. If you land on someone else’s property, you’ll need to

give up one of your own to pay them rent. Your wealth is determined by the total value of your properties, including multipliers for owning a monopoly, or houses. Your total net worth is shown in your corner of the screen as your score. In practice, the economy is entirely barter-based. Watch out for quick shifts of fortune caused by Community Chest and Chance cards, and try your hardest to get a monopoly and start building houses. Whoever is richest at the end of the game wins.NOTE: To skip the Richest Edition introduction, press A.

WHEN YOU LAND ON…UNOWNED The property is automatically yours. Get as many asPROPERTY you can!OWNED PROPERTY You owe rent, which you pay by handing over

one of your own properties, or giving up a set of houses. The more developed the property you landed on, the higher the rent.

YOUR OWN Nothing happens, unless that property is part of a PROPERTY monopoly. If it is a monopoly, then a set of houses

or hotels is built across the whole monopoly and if you’ve already got a set of houses, then you’ll build hotels! Once you’ve built hotels, the property is locked as yours. They are immune from being paid as rent, but they can be destroyed in a Community Chest event.

JUST VISITING Skip out on rent for the rest of this round, even if one of your other tokens lands on someone’s space. Your property is safe!

FREE PARKING You can move one of your remaining tokens to another unoccupied square, to either avoid paying rent or perhaps pick up another property!

GO TO JAIL Pay the bail of three properties to get out of jail.GO Choose any unowned property to add to

your portfolio.TAXES Return a property as tax, or in the case of an

Income Tax, you’ll need to give back one property for every four you own.

COMMUNITY Different effects occur depending on which variant CHEST of Richest Edition you’re playing in. In Developer

mode, for example, the poorest player can steal their pick of three properties from the other players.

CHANCE Steal a property from someone richer than you or build houses on a monopoly you own.

TRADINGTrading in Richest Edition’s Strategic mode is slightly different than in Monopoly Edition, since there isn’t any cash. To make a trade, select the player you’d like to trade with and then choose the properties (yours and theirs) to include in the trade. To propose the trade, select the PROPOSE option and press A. To accept another player’s trade, select the DEAL option and press A, or decline it by selecting the CANCEL option and pressing A. Every player gets a shot at making a trade, so you can always try to get the right deal for you.

MINIGAMESYou can access the 12 quick, competitive Richest Edition minigames from the main menu once you’ve played them in a regular game. The instructions for each minigame also appear on-screen, but here they are for quick reference:Get Out of JailThe first person to escape wins.

HINTS AND TIPSIn Richest Edition, choosing the die number can be pretty important. In • the beginning of the game, take the highest number in order to land on and acquire as many properties as possible. Later, your strategy depends on how much property you already own. Taking a six when you don’t have much property increases your risk of paying rent and losing what little you have, while taking a six if you have a lot of property means you’ll have more chances to improve your lots with houses or hotels.The minigame difficulty is skewed dynamically in favor of the poorer • players. Richer players need quicker reflexes to overcome extra obstacles. For instance, in the Get Out of Jail game, the richer you are, the more bars you have to cut through to escape.You can skip Mr. Monopoly’s speech by pressing • Y.
